Timmo got anything left?


Recommended Posts

With this Rosival injury, the Blackhawks are Donna need to get some more out of Timmo. They're barely playing him at all.

Does he have it to give?

Well, if Donna is not good to go (FYI I hear she goes!), then Kimmo is their best option. <ninja/>

I think the Hawks probably always viewed him as a great insurance policy for just this kind of situation. He's only played 8-9 minutes per game so far, but he's dressed for all of them and Rundblad has been scratched. So obviously they prefer Kimmo in the lineup over him.

 

Their top 4 are already playing a lot of minutes, would be hard to allocate too many more to them to make up for Roszival's absence. I expect Kimmo will get some of Roszival's ice time and Rundblad will get maybe 7-9 minutes. As a 3rd pairing defenseman, and in the post-season, you could do a lot worse than Timonen.

 

So I think we'll see sooner than later what he's got left in the tank. For the record, I am still a believer in #44.

They are using him on the PP as well.he certainly has a role, though limited
